# Coopers Recipe

> Coopers Recipe is a free whole-food baby formula recipe created by Lohra Ballinger for her son Cooper, when she couldn't make enough breast milk. The recipe is raw, gluten-free, soy-free and vegan when made with a plant milk. It was analyzed by Midwest Laboratories in 2014. Lohra's e-book, Babies Should Eat Like a Baby, tells the whole story, and every copy supports Sacred Soul Farm, a non-profit.

Coopers Recipe shares one mother's experience and research. It is not medical advice. Parents should talk with their pediatrician before changing how a baby is fed.
